Emerging technologies have been disrupting existing business models for literally hundreds of years. Think about the impact of the automated knitting machine on the English textile industry in the 18th century. Don't forget that Henry Ford's Model T put a lot of farriers and blacksmiths out of work back in 1908.
Cryptoassets and quantum information science are poised to have the same kind of transformational impact.
